[quote=Anonymous]When I married my DH he told me his parent was an alcoholic. This had been going on since his childhood but since the parent didn't start drinking until 5pm every night after work it was just normal for them. It became a huge issue in our marriage when we had children. His siblings were fine with the parent watching the kids because that was what they were use to and the other parent would be around. Not me. I put my foot down and said alcoholic grandparent will never watch my kids and by the way DH you had better take a hard look at your own drinking behavior. Well of course I am the boat rocker in the family because I am the only one not in denial. Well the siblings woke up when the alcoholic grandparent dropped the baby while babysitting. Baby was ok but denial in a family is very powerful. My DH and siblings tried to get the alcoholic parent help but that did not go over well. By that age they are a lost cause. Just concentrate on keeping your own family with your DH and kids intact. Do not let this ruin your family. You and your DH should concentrate on your own behavior with alcohol and really educate your children about the dangers of alcohol. [/quote]
